IMPROVEMENT lN SPOKE-SHAVES.

The Schedule referred to in hhese Letters Patent and-making part of the name.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE N. STEARNS, of the city of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Mode of Spoke-Shave; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters .of reference marked gauges have been'used in conjunction with knives, but such gauges and substances were differently arthereon making a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the same. Figure 2 is a sectional view, showing the gauge,

one on each side of the knife, and the adj ustiirg-screw' inserted in the stock.

Thisinvention relates to anew adjusting spokeshave.

One object. of my invention is in adjusting both sides of the gauge from the. arms at the same time, thereby presenting a true and even 'cut ,the entire length of the knife.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its constrnetion and operation.

In the accompanying drawings- A'represents the stock, which may be made any snitabie shape or size, and of wood oi" metal. I prefer to make it in the shape shown in the drawing .A, and of metal.

1) represents the screw, inserted in the stock A at the adjusting of the gauge 0 c to and from the knife 11. The gauge-e e is fastened to the stock,A by the means of twobolts F F at the end of the arms 9 y.

The knife 1 is fastened to the stock A by the means of two screws C O, the knife at being stationary.

' I am aware that other spoke-shaves have been constructed before my invention in which adjustingranged from mine, and are liableto many serious objections, which are removed by my arrangements.

Therefore, I do not claim, broadly, the adjustinggauge when arranged upon a different principle from that involved by my arrangements.

Having thus describcdm y invention, \Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is g The spoke-shave herein described, consisting of stock A, gauge a e, constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as described.

' GEO. N. STEARNS.
